Yes, in fact with FilteringEnabled turned on (Which is very important), you kinda have to have exclusive communication between the client and the server and vice versa.
I present to you: RemoteEvents
RemoteEvents can have its event called from the server or client to have its parameters sent to the other end, you usually place RemoteEvents (and RemoteFunctions) in ReplicatedStorage (its like ServerStorage, but the clients get to peek in aswell)
Client side:
-- this is a localscript
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.SendBeans -- the RemoteEvent in question
local Beans = 0 -- how many beans we currently have
Event.OnClientEvent(function(BeansToGive)
Beans = Beans + BeansToGive
end)
Server side: it should be noted that you have to specify which client you are communicating with as the first parameter
-- this is a server script
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.SendBeans -- the RemoteEvent, yet again
local Player = game.Players.fanofpixels
local BeansStorage = 10
function GiveBeans()
Event:FireClient(Player, BeansStorage)
BeansStorage = 0
end
GiveBeans()
-- if you are trying to fire the event for ALL clients, then try this method instead:
Event:FireAllClients(BeansStorage)
